    Initialize the Userbuffers communicator for overlapping tensor-parallel communications with
    GEMM compute in te.Linear, te.LayerNormLinear and te.LayerNormMLP modules.

    Parameters
    ----------
    shape : list
            shape of the communication buffer, typically set to be the same as the global shape of
            the input tensor to a te.TransformerLayer forward pass, with the sequence and batch
            dimensions collapsed together -- i.e.: `(sequence_length * batch_size, hidden_size)`

146
              allocate the communication buffer for FP8 GEMM inputs/outputs.
              DEPRECATED: Please use `quantization_modes` instead.
    quantization_modes : List[UserBufferQuantizationMode] = None
              if a list of UserBufferQuantizationMode is provided, a UB communicator is created for each quantization setting in the list.
              falls back to the legacy `use_fp8` parameter if `None` is provided.

                        barrier collectives during Userbuffers initialization. Not all backends are
                        valid for every cluster configuration and distributed launch method even if
                        they are available in PyTorch. When left unset, the initialization prefers
                        to use the MPI backend, falling back first on Gloo and then NCCL if MPI is
                        not available. Setting `NVTE_UB_WITH_MPI=1` when building TE overrides this
                        option and always initializes Userbuffers with direct MPI calls in C++,
                        which also requires `MPI_HOME=/path/to/mpi/root` to be set at compile time.

        #     We have experienced problems (e.g. in ONNX export) with
        #     non-tensor extra state.
        # (2) PyTorch's checkpointing infrastructure does not remap
        #     devices for "extra state" like it does for "state dict".
        #     Thus, we want to avoid putting extra state on the GPU

        # (3) The extra state consists of many small tensors. If we
        #     want to copy them all to CPU, then we need to avoid the
        #     overhead of many GPU-CPU memory transfers.
